1. A portable work station, comprising, in combination:
- a frame structure releasably and temporarily supporting a workpiece structure;
said frame structure having an open-sided upper portion formed by three substantially horizontal upper members;
said three substantially horizontal upper members comprise a pair of upper substantially parallel cross members which are releasably connected to a third upper member disposed substantially perpendicular to said upper substantially parallel cross members;
said frame structure includes adjustment means which permit said three upper substantially horizontal members to be laterally adjusted to accommodate various sizes of said workpiece structure;
said frame structure providing predetermined clearances between said frame structure and said workpiece structure;
pivot means releasably connected to said frame structure for independently pivoting said workpiece structure within said frame structure about a substantially horizontal axis; and
stabilizing means releasably connected to said frame structure for stabilizing said workpiece structure within said frame structure when said workpiece structure is being worked upon.
